1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), an active metabolite of vitamin A, plays an important role in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. It was reported that ATRA could cause an up-regulation of protein expression of CD2AP in nephrotic animals. However, the mechanism of ATRA-mediated up-regulation is not well understood. In the present study, deletion analysis and luciferase assays demonstrated that ATRA caused a marked increase in the activity of the CD2AP promoter, and the region between nt -599 and -328 from the transcription start site, where there are two clusters of Sp1/3 binding sites, was indispensable for ATRA-mediated up-regulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that ATRA activated the CD2AP transcription through enhancing the DNA-binding activity of Sp1 and Sp3 with the CD2AP promoter. Taken together, this study provided evidence for the first time showing the stimulating effect of ATRA on CD2AP and new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of nephritic syndrome and other associated diseases of CD2AP deficiency.
